Tonight is our monthly reunion with friends! The restaurant chosen by the rotating organizer is "Shun-Sai and Kamigata Cuisine Anbai" on the 7th floor of Namba Parks. We started off with plum wine soda, draft beer, and oolong tea for a toast! Cheers! We decided on the "Sushi Kaiseki Course" because we didn't feel like thinking too much about the food. Here's what we had: - Hassun: Variety of dishes including clam, roasted duck, myoga, and deep-fried vegetables. - Taimono: Kobe beef yakiniku. Delicious with wasabi and ponzu sauce, and the grilled vegetables were great too! - Agemono: Seasonal tempura assortment with shrimp, eggplant, and shishito peppers. - Nigiri Sushi: Sea bream, squid, scallop, shrimp, and bonito. The bonito was not my favorite. - Soup: Miso soup with plenty of barley, but it was a bit too thick. - Dessert: Warabimochi (with matcha and kinako) and candied chestnuts. Both were delicious! We enjoyed our drinks at our own pace and had a great time catching up with each other. It's always fun to have a meal or drink with good friends. We promised to meet again next month as we wrapped up the evening. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

We were a group of three, with one person ordering the special selected beef loin from the Matsukadou Gozen set, while the other two ordered a la carte dishes and drinks. The Matsukadou Gozen set was described as sukiyaki-style, so we decided to try the paper pot. First, the vegetable-filled paper pot arrived, but the meat was delayed. When it finally came, it was mostly fatty with little lean meat. When we asked the staff about it, they said it was beef belly meat and that's all they had. Disappointed, we decided not to eat the meat. The rice that came out of the pot was hard and unpleasant. To top it off, we never received the fried chicken dish we ordered, which was listed on the menu as Tempura with vinegar and salt, but they said they didn't have the vinegar. If they had told us earlier, we could have made a different choice.

Today I had lunch at Namba Parks. Namba CITY is closed, so the restaurants at Parks are busier than usual. I decided to go up to the quiet 7th floor. I visited "Shun-sai and Kamigata Ryori Anbai" and ordered the "Select Gohan" set. The set includes: - Koshihikari rice from Toyama (free refills) - 2 types of main dishes: Wagyu menchi katsu and dried overnight mackerel - Mini salad - Mini miso soup - Drink bar First, I had the salad with corn dressing, which was nice. The mini miso soup was quite tasty. The Wagyu menchi katsu had more meat than I expected, and it was served with a demiglace sauce with mushrooms warmed on a ceramic plate. The dried overnight mackerel was also better than I anticipated. I had a second helping of rice. For dessert, I had an iced coffee from the self-service coffee and tea corner. Overall, the lunch was better than I expected. Thank you for the meal!

After watching a movie, we had lunch. The private rooms were full, so we were seated in a spacious room. The lunch options were varied, and it was nice that drinks were included. It took a bit of time for our orders to come out, but it was clear that they were being made fresh. The croquettes were delicious, but I think I prefer the minced steak. We were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace.

I visited for lunch after the cinema. There is a narrow hallway at the entrance and seating is on the left. It was quite busy during lunchtime with many customers. After 1:00 PM, it was more relaxed. I had the beautiful skin kaiseki course, originally ¥2,728 but discounted to ¥2,000 with a cinema deal. They also offer affordable lunch options with a drink bar included.

Located on the 7th floor of Namba Parks, this Japanese restaurant was a great find. With a long wait at the restaurant on the 6th floor, we decided to try this one instead. The lunch menu mostly consists of dishes priced at over 2000 yen. I ordered the steamed set meal, which came with plenty of vegetables, tempura, and sashimi. The portion size and variety were quite satisfying. The fact that free refills on drinks were included was a nice touch. The flavors were simple and easy to enjoy.

The spacious interior had only a few groups during lunchtime, which I believe is due to the impact of the coronavirus. The Select Gozen set meal offers great value for money, especially with the variety of options available. Most female customers seemed to choose the Select Gozen. It was nice to have a drink bar included with the lunch. I look forward to trying a different choice on my next visit.

I had a work meeting at Namba Parks. It was nice to be able to talk slowly. The atmosphere is calm. The staff are kind and the service is polite, making it perfect for meetings. There were many couples, perhaps due to the impact of the coronavirus. The spacious interior prevents overcrowding, making it convenient for face-to-face meetings when necessary. Lunch options range from 1000 to 2000 yen, with healthy choices available. It's also a great place for girls to enjoy together! There is a drink bar where you can have tea, coffee, or black tea. The sweets come in a set that offers good value, which is also nice! I can't wait to go for drinks at night once the coronavirus situation settles down!

I went shopping at the end of the year and decided to have lunch at a restaurant. The restaurant I visited was Anbai, a seasonal and traditional cuisine restaurant located on the 7th floor of Namba Parks. As I entered the restaurant and looked at the menu, I was intrigued by the weekday special Select Gohan set. The options for the Select Gohan set included the daily special (which was beef tendon stew on that day), Chicken Nanban, grated radish hamburger (80g), black soybean natto and okra salad, beef tendon curry (just the roux), and Inaniwa udon (hot or cold). You could choose two side dishes from these options. There were also various other lunch menu items available. I was torn between the Select Gohan set and the Steak Gohan set, but ended up ordering the Steak Gohan set. The Steak Gohan set included steak, small side dishes, organic vegetable mini salad, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), soup, pickles, and rice. The steak was available in 100g for 1180 yen, 200g for 1580 yen, and 300g for 1980 yen, and I chose the 200g option. I received a complimentary drink after ordering. While waiting and sipping on my drink, the Steak Gohan set arrived. The main steak dish came with homemade red wine sauce, which had a Japanese twist to it. Rock salt was also served with the steak for seasoning. The steak was delicious and cooked to my liking, and the rice paired well with it. The salad, chawanmushi, side dishes, and drink bar were included in the price, making it a great deal. I felt satisfied after finishing the meal. The weekday special Select Gohan set included Chicken Nanban and the daily special (beef tendon stew on that day). The beef tendon stew was generous with meat chunks and also a good value. I ended the meal with a hot coffee from the drink bar. The relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant allowed me to enjoy my meal leisurely. With various lunch sets available, I would definitely want to visit again when I go to Parks next time. 🍽️

I went to a New Year's party with my friends. We found a restaurant with a 3-hour all-you-can-drink deal for lunch, and when we looked at the food menu, it seemed great. The bento box had a luxurious feel, was reasonably priced, and tasted delicious. It was nice that the dishes were not shared among the group.

Namba Lunch Vol. 27 "Anbai Namba Parks Store" I thought it was a fancy and intimidating place to enter, but I decided to go in after seeing the affordable lunch menu. The interior is spacious and lovely. There were calm ladies of a certain age having lunch. I chose the beef steak lunch for 980 yen since I was in the mood for meat that day. The menu also offers various lunches around 1000 yen, including daily specials. Plus, you get a drink bar with coffee, tea, and vinegar drinks! It's quite a good deal. You can relax and forget that it's just a lunch break in the relaxed atmosphere.

A friend made a reservation for a group dinner at a creative Japanese restaurant located on the seventh floor of Namba Parks. The restaurant had a spacious interior with plenty of room between tables, and there were also many private rooms at the back. Since we didn't pre-order any dishes, we decided to order a la carte. The appetizers included mugwort and tofu, okra and moroheiya salad, and maru-ju and yamaimo three kinds. We started with a toast with beer and then ordered a sashimi platter with sea bream, tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, and seared squid with sea urchin. The portions were generous and satisfying. We also enjoyed the salt-grilled tai fish, pork and mushroom salad, beef tendon stew, and tempura platter. Unfortunately, all desserts were sold out that day. We each had about three drinks, including delicious highballs and Dassai sake. The dishes were beautifully presented, with decent portions, and the atmosphere was relaxing. This restaurant is more suitable for dates or girls' night out rather than casual drinking sessions.

The all-you-can-drink option is included and the food is good. If you have 10 or more people, the organizer is free, so you can order plenty of a la carte items and have a great party. It's very reasonable. In addition to motsunabe, there are many other menu items, all of which were delicious. Overall, it was very tasty and reasonable, and I would like to use it again.

The sukiyaki-style meat was pork belly with fat. There were three of us dining, but only one person ordered a la carte. All the dishes were small and unsatisfying. The cost performance was not good. We were planning to order more, but decided against it as the portions were smaller than shown in the photos.

The atmosphere of the private room was nice. The food was delicious in terms of cost performance. We used it for a farewell party and the participants were pleased. It was all-you-can-drink, but unfortunately, the time it took to bring the drinks started to get longer towards the end.

The restaurant was spacious, so we could enjoy our meal slowly. It's nice that they have a drink bar where you can also get coffee!

I used it for a date with someone who eats relatively little, so I chose a reasonably priced lunch course. Since it was a reservation on another site, the menu details were a bit vague, but I'll write down the menu that I remember. There was plenty of vegetables in a dashi-based octopus and mozuku shabu-shabu. The octopus was a bit small, but the vegetables soaked in the broth were delicious. There was a misuji steak on top of a potato salad, and the meat sauce was very delicious. It seemed to be using balsamic vinegar, with a slightly sweet and refreshing taste. It was great for the hot season. There was a mixed rice and miso soup, but it was a bit bland, which was disappointing. The miso soup had a flavor that I really liked. Soft drinks were included in the all-you-can-drink menu, but the dishes were quite filling, so I didn't order too much. The air conditioning was a bit strong, is it Osaka quality? It was just right to wear a jacket. There was a cafe medley drink available, but the vinegar drink was a bit weak, which was disappointing. I prefer my coffee piping hot, but it was warm. When the air conditioning is cranked up, you start to crave hot drinks, but they were not included in the all-you-can-drink menu. Whether it's microwaved oolong tea or hot Calpis, I would like them to introduce some kind of hot drink.

I wanted to enjoy some Japanese food while having a beer, so I decided to stop by this restaurant. I ordered a draft Asahi Super Dry. Took a sip... Huh?? It's so watery! The seafood sushi roll and other dishes were decent in terms of taste. Since I couldn't enjoy the beer, I switched to a highball. It was also light and easy to drink. There's a bell on the table to call the staff, but it didn't seem to work. The staff in the hall was friendly and that was nice.

Tonight, I went out with a younger friend from work. We talked about our mothers and enjoyed a meal together with a beauty course. We had a collagen hot pot (forgot to take a picture) and other satisfying dishes. We both have our own struggles in life, but we promised to do our best as only children.

The beef steak lunch is sold out, so I had the daily special (Demiglace hamburger).
